Yeah, it's great that Zizek says we need another Lenin. But the
inability to make even rudimentary noises toward a positive description
of what such a Lenin might do/say leaves Zizek in virtually the same
position as Derrida, with his infinitely postponed 'democracy to come'
and whatnot. The irony is that Zizek denounces Derrida on exactly this
point in his newest book.
